Care package #2

Here are the items that big sister will get in her second care package from us.  It will be in the mail tomorrow.

 There are two outfits of cotton long sleeved shirts and leggings, a red fancy dress, some hair clips and candy.  Our intention is for Lyla to wear these clothes, but we did not specifically ask for them back.  Children share clothes in the orphanage and we hope the other little girls get to enjoy them as well.  We asked that she share the hair clips with her friends and the candy with the nannies and teachers.

The sparkly red dress deserved a picture of it's own.  The dress is covered in sequins and the little jacket is velvet.  In each set of pictures we have received of Lyla is appears as if she is put in a special dress, of sorts, specifically for the picture.  Since the last set of pictures we received involved her looking at a photo album we sent, we believe that the people at the orphanage are very intentional in their photos.  SO, we are REALLY hoping they put her in this dress and take her picture and send it to us in our next update.  Again, we are not asking for this dress back, they may give it back anyway, but I would just as happy if the other little girls in the orphanage got to dress up in it as well!

We are hoping to get our LOA in the next couple weeks (again, could be MUCH longer, but we are still hopeful) and at that time our agency will ask for another update.
